They’re Back! “BasketBall Wives” Season 5 Premieres August 19th

And then there was 5. After a tumultuous fourth season, full of catfights, bullying and bag stealing,  the ladies of Basketball Wives are back, but this time with a smaller circle.

VH1  announced today that Season 5 would be returning August 19th and based on the promo pics, they’ve finally let go of some cast members. But then again are we surprised?

Royce Reed, Keisha Nichols, Jennifer Williams and Kenya Bell have been cut from the cast and replaced by only one new wife, Tasha Marbury.

According to VH1, Marbury, who has been married to former NYC Knicks guard Stephon Marbury for 17 years, will be dealing with some of the scandalous rumors surrounding her marriage. Meanwhile, Evelyn will be making attempts at rebuilding her life after the violent altercation with her now ex-husband Chad Johnson. And if thats not enough, Season 5 will also witness the return of  a notorious wife from seasons past, a confrontation with a woman whose alleged relationship with a player puts one of the wives in an uncomfortable position, and another unforgettable turmoil-filled girls’ trip to London.

Oh boy! Basketball Wives Season 5 is set to premiere August 19 at 8PM.
